In the second of my films from Light Up Leicester I take a look at the various performances that accompanied the Installations around the city. We start with Aquanauts Adrift on Jubilee Square complementing the bubble like structures of Evanescent by Atelier Sisu, this performance piece by  @enteredem5879  features two Aquanauts on a mission to bring the wonders of the underwater world to the audience, with lots of fun bubbles and characters along for the ride. Next we arrive at the Clock Tower where  @NupurArtsDance  bring us the bight colours, dance and spectacle of the Holi Experience, ending with a blast of colour from bright powder thrown into the air. To the  @LeicesterMuseums  on New Walk next for the surreal but magical spectacle of FIERS À CHEVAL, Featuring imposing illuminated ivory horses, light and flamboyant. What follows is a magical experience along the New Walk led by performers from Compagnie Des Quidams, as they journey to The Circl...

 Verdonbury (so called due to its proximity in date to the famous Glastonbury music festival) takes place in the Leicestershire village of Newbold Verdon annually and features a varied programme of entertainment and stalls. 2017's event featured performances from The Sealed Knot - Lord Thomas Grey`s regiment of Foote The Newbold Equestrian Centre A Classic Car Display Nuneaton Dog Training Club and The Wigston Band.

Please Note: The following is posted neither in support or opposition of fox hunting, It is posted merely as a documentation of an event taking place in the county of Leicestershire, therefore I ask that all views are respected in the comments where posted thank you.  The Fernie hunt meet like many others in the county of Leicestershire and across the country on boxing day in and around the village of Great Bowden annually and is a tradition that has roots going back many centuries recent changes to laws governing the event mean that the hunt now meets in the village before following a sent trail around the local countryside my film shows the hunt leader leaving the kennels with the hounds before meeting the rest of the hunt on the village green later we see the riders and hounds approaching a halt just outside the village before riding away following the scent trail.

The Fernie Hunt takes place every year in and around the village of Great Bowden in Leicestershire the event begins with the horses and hounds leaving the kennels and travelling to the village green where they are greeted by hundreds of spectators. The meet allows visitors a chance to see the horses, hounds and their owners and to learn about the rich history of the event which also raises money for the local air ambulance. The horses and hounds then follow a sent trail on a planed route around the local countryside before retiring back to the kennels at the end of the day.
